when we lived in germany -- germany, my father was working there, all the police had trained doings on the place and there were no robberies, there were no assaults because people knew that that dog would get them and obviously the security is not working. and children need to be protected. adults need to be protected. and it would be much less expensive and much safer to have a trained dog in every school and the malls and big theater complexes. host: ok, sara, we got your point. john? guest: i'm not sure if it would be less expensive to have a handler and a dog at every school rather than allowing one person to possess a gun they probably own pivetly, having said that, it's an unfortunate fact i grew up much of my early years in europe and you know, i understand that they had strict gun control laws there. until last friday, the newtown shoot, the top three, in terms of fatality, school shootings in the world were in britain and germany. those were done with assault weapons. just because you have strict gun controls doesn't mean people can't get access to these weapons. they can. if

we are not indispensable to the defense of germany and italy and england and we act as if we are. we are not indispensable in keeping open sea range for other countries. frankly, mr. speaker, the time has come for us to urge wealthy nations that face no significant threat to dispense with us from the stand point of our military activity. and so that's my objection to this bill. it does a reasonable job with some disagreements some of wuse have of funding the current level of commitment. but the current level of commitment far exceeds any rational definition of national security and it's zero sum. it comes at the expense of every other program we try to maintain to promote the quality of life in the united states. i hope the bill is defeated. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from california. mr. mckeon: mr. speaker, at this time i yield two minutes to my friend and colleague, the chairman of the subcommittee on military personnel, the gentleman from south carolina, mr. wilson, a member of the conference committee. the speaker pro tempore: the
